Dr. Luke's (real name Lukasz Gottwald) attorney Christine Lepera has released a new statement regarding the lawsuit Kesha filed against the producer for alleged emotional abuse and sexual assault. Gottwald subsequently filed a defamation lawsuit against Kesha, her mother Pebe, and Kesha's reps at Vector Management.

Lepera says, in part, that Kesha's lawsuit is "a spectacular and outrageous fiction that will go down in flames," and "Luke hasn’t seen Kesha in years. This kind of cynical grandstanding in which false claims of abuse are used as a negotiating tactic insults real victims."
